Russian Flavours with an Aussie Premiere Performance
"Elena and I have worked together on several occasions and I've always loved and admired her work. The chance for TMO to be the first to perform all 6 of her Re-Inventions which have now been re-engineered for Flute with our own principal flautist is something we are all very proud of," said Sarah-Grace Williams, TMO's Chief Conductor.
The second half of the evening will feature Rachmaninoff's haunting Symphony No. 2. After a disastrous reception to his Symphony No. 1, Rachmaninoff fell into the pits of despair.
It took almost 10 years before he finished this second symphony which was received to great applause winning him the coveted Glinka award and restoring his confidence and sense of self-worth as a symphonist.
Often considered to represent both hope and redemption, this hugely expressive work is a meandering musical journey from anguish to triumph.
